30: A change that I will experience in the next 5 years is adolescence. Adolescence is the transition stage between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence can occur between 10-24 years. This process will affect me socially and physically. It will affect me physically in height, weight and looks and socially in emotions. I will get overexcited or too depressed. I might spend more time with my friends than my family or I might become clumsy because of the growth spurts around my body. Adolescence can also affect me mentally.
